Community Outreach with QuestionPoint

Programs and events offered through virtual reference are a cost-effective way for UK public libraries to engage with their community. The users do not need to visit the library in order to fully participate, and in many cases the speakers are offsite as well. Not only does this raise the profile of the library - it can open up many intriguing ways to collaborate with community leaders, artists and subject experts, regardless of their location. And it can be a lot of fun, too!
